AECL's Return-to-Service Project Director Dave Cox explains how
the NRU repair team is performing training and reliability testing on
the NRU reactor mock-ups in preparation of performing the final repair
to the vessel. Using the full-size mock-up, Dave demonstrates how the
team is applying the welds and plates to test sites and gives viewers a
sense of the work involved in performing the largest repair to be
completed on the reactor. The complexity of this particular repair is
great, with its planning and analyses warranting the team's time and
efforts for the past 4+ months. As Mr. Cox explains, the team is
approaching this final repair very carefully as they feel they have "one
chance to get it right."
